Real Love: A Poem

Why don’t you pull up a park bench?

Sit there and listen to our lives rushing past

Intermingling with each other as we reflect

Reveling in the moment is better than transfixed reveries

Finally, reality is an improvement on our dreams

We all know happily ever after has no problems

But without them, we wouldn’t be here today

We lean on each other through every obstacle

True love is difficult but worth the fight

Real life is the glue that binds our hearts

So, hold my hand as we share our humanity

I’m no princess and you’re no knight

Every moment doesn't drip with romance

I’m convinced that’s how it’s meant to be

Because every weakness is held with acceptance

Why don’t you pull up a park bench?

Sit there and listen to our lives rushing past

Intermingling with each other as we reflect

Reveling in the moment is better than transfixed reveries

Finally, reality is an improvement on our dreams
